Eh? I know that the British used to have a reputation for awful cuisine, but I suspect that's a result of the postwar drive to industrialise food. Lots of us still eat appallingly, but this country has an amazing range of foods available, especially if you have a disposable income.

Oh how did I know you'd put Polish women at the top of that list, Ewar. Nothing beats the English rose allure (a host of actresses having success across the pond; Felicity Jones for one) or the Welsh innocence (it exists, only within those who were born outside Cardiff) and the Scottish sensibilities (they will accept your offer of a drink then kneecap you) or the Northern Irish accent.

As for food, we have some of the best chefs in the world whilst producing some of the finest ingredients and recipes.

I'm rather partial to the Irish accent, in all, or at least most of, its guises... but there again, I am biased.Ewar, I'm thinking the lovely Róisín on that link is from Cork, or at least down by the ankles of the country, judging by her accent.

As for what I really wanted to comment on, there is little that I wouldn't do for Yorkshire Puds... except perhaps a footballer. A girl's got to have standards. I'm also partial to scallops, oatcakes and pies. Not a big fan of haggis or stilton though. And my father in law makes the most delicious wild-garlic-pesto in the world. Om nom nom...

A) Hilarious that this discussion has moved so far away from British food.

B) I really want to lie and say I've watched all of those videos but the truth is I havent. I follow her on Twitter, and she linked to one of those vids before and when I had a quick look I thought that she had a lovely voice. Ergo when you said "do you have someone specific in mind" her name popped up in my head.

I do have limits, when it comes to sport - horse racing, and US college sports. That's about it. Oh, and Formula One, which is unbelievably shit.
